Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of X-ray detectors, in particular to an X-ray detector structure and a working method thereof.
Background
An X-ray detector is a device for converting X-ray energy into an electrical signal for recording, and is generally composed of a scintillator, a detector chip, and a substrate, as shown in fig. 1, and the working principle is that X-photons enter the scintillator and are converted into visible light to be output to the detector chip. And the photoelectric conversion is carried out by the detector chip to form an electric signal, and the electric signal is transmitted to a subsequent signal processing chip through the chip and a lead on the substrate, so that a final image is formed.
The detector chips are divided into a front-entering type and a back-entering type according to different incident light directions, as shown in fig. 2, in the front-entering type detector chip, visible light generated by the scintillator enters from the front of the detector and is absorbed after entering the detector chip, and generated photogenerated carriers are collected from a diode close to the front of the chip and are transmitted to the substrate and a subsequent signal processing chip through metal wiring and electrodes on the front. And the back-in detector chip, the visible light generated by the scintillator is incident from the back of the detector and absorbed after entering the detector chip, and the generated photon-generated carriers are collected from the diode close to the front of the chip and transmitted to the substrate and the subsequent signal processing chip through the metal wiring and the electrode on the front. The forward-type detector chip and the back-type detector chip have advantages respectively and are applied to actual products.
In recent years, with the large-scale popularization and application of X-ray detectors, according to different use scenes of the X-ray detectors, such as small security inspection equipment, industrial part inspection, large container inspection and the like, the quality and density of detected objects are different, the required energy of incident X-rays is different from dozens of KeV to dozens of MeV, and correspondingly, the thicknesses of detector scintillators used are also different, and particularly for large container inspection with high energy, the thicknesses of the scintillators are required to be thicker so as to be capable of sufficiently absorbing incident high-energy X-rays and generating enough signals to meet the detection requirements.
While thicker scintillators can present problems: first, as the thickness of the scintillator increases, the visible light converted by the absorption of X-rays needs a longer path to be transmitted to the surface of the detector chip, and may be absorbed during the transmission of the visible light. Especially, the visible light generated by the scintillator far from the detector chip needs to pass through almost the whole thickness of the scintillator, which greatly reduces the light output of the whole scintillator and reduces the size of the detection signal. Second, thicker scintillators, particularly dense materials such as cadmium tungstate, also have a greater mass. After the module is packaged, the detector chip can be greatly extruded, damage is easily caused, and the requirement on packaging is high.
In the prior art, unlike the top-entry type detector, as shown in fig. 3, the incident direction of X-ray is parallel to the detector chip, and enters from the side of the scintillator to be absorbed, and the visible light generated inside the scintillator enters from the vertical direction of the detector chip. The structure can solve the problems to a certain extent, but a large-area detector chip is needed, so that on one hand, the cost of the detector is increased, and on the other hand, a large dark current and a parasitic capacitor are introduced into the large detector chip, so that the noise of the system is increased, and the imaging quality is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an X-ray detector structure for solving the above-mentioned technical problems.
Chinese patent application No. CN201910706450.5 discloses an X-ray detector and a method for manufacturing the same, in which a first photosensitive layer and a second photosensitive layer disposed on both sides of a scintillator layer are coupled and sampled independently, so that under a single exposure condition of a low radiation dose, spatial resolution and fluorescence absorption rate are improved, radiation dose and signal-to-noise ratio are optimized, and the problems of reduced light output and damage caused by large mass due to increased thickness of the scintillator are not solved.
